Digital copies of receipts or refusing them altogether can help cut down on physical waste and clutter: “This is a pile of shopping receipts. Did you know that thermal paper receipts (the ones that are smooth and shiny) are NOT recyclable? They are coated with chemicals to allow ink to adhere, and therefore if they are recycled, these chemicals will contaminate the recycled paper. So what is the solution? Since I discovered this a week or so ago, I have been consciously refusing receipts, unless I need it for a possible return or warranty. Or download an app on your phone so you can keep track of your spending” @reduce_our_waste #WaronWaste #decluttering #KonMari #green #spark #joy #reduce #lifechanging #magic #tidy #paperless
